Chapter 152 - Preparations
Without thinking, I grabbed Ayako-chan by both shoulders and shouted, "You did it!"
"Aren't those all mental debuffs!? You really heard that? No mistake?"
"Yes, but..."
"You know how to use them, right? There should have been an explanation in your head."
"...So you heard it too, Nakamoto-san. That means it wasn't an auditory hallucination."
It's not like I actually heard it myself, but pointing that out every time would be a pain, so I let it slide.
While smoothly playing along, I immediately had her cast the three types of debuffs on me at low output.
"Alright."
There was no visible change on the surface, but this should have put me in a state where my morality, reason, and faith were mildly reduced.
These kinds of debuffs have long effect durations, so there's no need to reapply them frequently.
Feeling satisfied that the countermeasures against Erin were progressing smoothly, I called out to Ayako-chan.
"Alright, let's go home."
"I don't want to."
"...Let's go home?"
"I don't understand what you mean. Why did we come all the way here and you do nothing? What are you thinking?"
Ayako-chan was showing unexpected stubbornness.
This is going to be a pain to persuade her, I thought, shrugging my shoulders despite myself.
"...If you don't explain properly, I won't go. Bringing a girl all the way out here, only to mess around with a cross-dressing old man and then go home. You're a terrible person, Nakamoto-san."
"Well, you see..."
As I was pondering how to explain, Ayako-chan silently closed the distance between us.
"...If you don't do something, I won't go."
"...Something, like what specifically?"
"A k-kiss, or something."
"What, is that all it takes?"
If that'll satisfy her, I thought, and sucked on her lips. Faintly sweet, girlish-tasting soft flesh. Ayako-chan's lower lip is thinner than Angelica's, but thicker than Rio's.
There are individual differences, I thought idly, while also groping her breasts as a bonus.
I was finally able to fully enjoy the feel of those E-cups I'd been curious about for so long.
...Hmm.
I see, this is a fine thing. An elasticity too good to leave as mere mammary organs. Leaving them un-groped can only be called a sin. Therefore, by kneading them, I am liberating humanity from the original sin of wasting large breasts.
"Doing good deeds feels nice. I'll knead them thoroughly."
"...Huh? Huh?"
I spun the dumbfounded Ayako-chan around and stroked her butt too. Its moderately toned curves fit my palm perfectly.
"What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
"...Maybe I should stroke the front too... no, that's no good, is it..."
I know it feels too late for this, but let me make an excuse.
This is all, every bit of it, the debuffs' fault.
Right now, my morals and reason are diminished, so when a cute girl comes on to me, my hands move on their own...
"Damn... am I a monkey or something..."
"I'm glad... you really were interested in girls after all...!"
But perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, as Ayako-chan's mood seemed to have completely recovered.
"There's still a sliver of a straight man's heart left in you, Nakamoto-san. Just knowing that is enough for me..."
I had no idea what she was talking about, but Ayako-chan was crying. She seemed relieved about something.
Giving appropriate nods, I hoisted Ayako-chan onto my back and decided to hurry home and drop her off.
On the way, my hands moved independently of my will many times, stroking Ayako-chan's butt, and each time, the message [Ayako Otsuki's Affection Level has increased by 9999] flowed.
It was hell.
"I'm home..."
Back at the apartment, I collapsed and sat down in the entryway.
Controlling my body, which had turned beastly, was a task requiring immense mental energy. Perhaps the strongest enemy is always oneself, after all.
"Welcome home!"
The sound of pitter-pattering footsteps rushing over. It was Angelica's voice.
When I turned my head to the side, bare white legs leaped into my vision. My gaze traced upward, from shin to knee, from knee to thigh.
Apparently, that Angelica wasn't wearing anything on her lower half except underwear.
Her upper half was a baggy white T-shirt, and yet her bra was black, so the combination made it perfectly see-through.
She's a feast for the eyes, as always.
You could call her an incredibly dangerous existence.
"Ah... sorry, Ange. Don't get too close to me today."
"Huh? Isn't that cruel? What's with that attitude after you sent me such a passionate baby-mail!?"
I even changed into an outfit that's easy to breastfeed in! she said, spouting nonsense.
I ignored her words, which I had absolutely no recollection of, as if it were the most natural thing, and got to the main topic.
"It's a long story, but right now, I have debuffs on me."
"...Was there a battle?"
"Well, yeah. But I took the debuffs on purpose. As part of the countermeasures against Erin."
"Taking debuffs is a countermeasure against Erin-san?"
"There are all sorts of things, loopholes. Anyway, that's the situation, so I can't remove these debuffs. I took ones that mainly lower morality and reason, so honestly, I don't even know what I might do myself."
"A reasonless stepfather, under one roof..."
I heard the sound of someone gulping.
I have an incredibly bad feeling about this.
"Father, you haven't met my eyes at all for a while now... could it be..."
No sooner had she spoken than Angelica, with a gliding motion, sat formally beside me.
And then, without hesitation, she pressed her large breasts against my face.
"...S-stop it... this really isn't a joke..."
"Father, your face is red... are you embarrassed?"
"...I'm serious, stop! You smell ridiculously good! What if I accidentally knock you up!?"
"Amazing... you're lecturing me while stroking my breasts... Father, your reason really has deteriorated...!"
Tears were streaming down Angelica's face.
It was an expression that easily showed these weren't tears of reluctance, but of emotion.
"I can finally get pregnant... I've always had a complex about my smooth, flat stomach... I've been dying to cover it all around with stretch marks soon...! That's a married woman's championship belt, after all, I wanted one no matter what..."
"...Your passion for reproduction is amazing..."
"Now, let's hurry to bed. If I get pregnant right now, the baby will be born at the beginning of next year, and if I conceive a second child right after, there's a possibility I could give birth twice in the same year! Isn't that wonderful!"
"...You've got your brain packed full of uterus at this point. ...Could it be that you, Ange, have some kind of backstory where the uterus I saved long ago turned into a human and came to repay the favor?"
"You have experience saving a uterus?"
"Of course not."
I'm pretty confused myself.
While spouting incoherent nonsense, I was dragged along sluggishly by Angelica.
Ah, is this how the forbidden father-daughter incest begins... I thought, hanging my head, when I bumped into something soft.
It was Ayako-chan, standing with her arms folded, in a commanding stance.
The blue veins standing out on her temple vividly told me she had heard the entire conversation perfectly.
